Overview
- Savers and the UK Office for Product Safety and Standards issued an alert recalling 15 perfumes due to a serious chemical risk.
- Shoppers are told to stop using the listed items and return them to Savers for a full refund, with no receipt required.
- Tests found butylphenyl methylpropional, also called lilial, or hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde, which UK rules ban in cosmetics.
- OPSS warns that BMHCA may harm fertility, harm an unborn child, and cause skin sensitisation.
- Only specific barcoded batches sold in Savers stores are affected, and the official list is on Gov.uk and shared by Which?, with help available in stores or via help@savers.co.uk.
